Ewenny
Pottery is unique. We are a small pottery that has been
in the same family for at least eight generations, tradition
tells us that our ancestors have been throwing pots here since
1610. However the earliest record of a pottery on this site is
1427.

History in the making, the
potters craft is passed down from generation
to generation and we continue that tradition today
making beautiful handmade earthenware pottery for use in the
home. We welcome visitors from near and far and we can be
viewed practising our craft in the workshop whilst the
finished wares are available to purchase in our
shop.

Our
History

Ewenny
Pottery is situated on the outskirts of the village Ewenny, near
the town of Bridgend, South Wales. Records show there have been
fifteen potteries in the Ewenny area at one time or another, all
having been small family concerns, this was due to the
materials being readily available, local red clay formed the pots,
glaze materials to finish the wares, stone to build the kilns and
coal to fire the pots. Now only two potteries remain, Ewenny and
Claypits.
